Rear Exhaust Hanger

[JConstable]

All,
In repairing a rust hole in the boot floor above the exhaust hanger a question occurred to me...Is the final exhaust hanger a bolt (or something similar) that hangs through a hole drilled in the boot floor to support the exhaust pipe? OR is there some sort of bracket welded to the underside of the boot floor that hangs down to support the exhaust pipe? If a welded bracket was used a picture would be helpful to allow me to reproduce it. I can't answer my own question as the exhaust was hanging free when I bought the car. Thanks. John

go to my photobucket site http://s606.photobucket.com/albums/tt142/65beam/ and look at photo 46. you'll see the two 90 degree brackets welded to the bottom of the trunk floor. they each have a hole drilled for the rubber mount. these are in the correct location.

65Beam,
Excellent - exactly what I was after and in combination with a PM I think I understand the situation. As I should have mentioned it is a Series V, and interestingly there is no sign of either of these two brackets on the underside of the boot floor. Thanks!

they should be in the same place on all cars. original style rear exhaust sections have the mounting brackets to match up to these, with the rubber mount with stud molded in each side in between. one side shown on my car is original, the other was bent bad and the spot welds were loose so we replaced it with a new one.
